Very true. Cleaning the TB and associated parts would be a free fix, and it should be done anyway. Do that first. Some auto parts stores will be able to test your ICM, but it'* an intermittent problem, so they may find nothing. After the intake cleaning, I'd try to find an ICM and coils from another 3800 to swap in for testing.

UPDATE:
I sprayed half a can of TB cleaner inside the opening and reved it up and all..i know this isnt the greatest way to do it, but its -20 outside and i dont want to **** around a whole lot!
I took the car out on the hwy, slowed down to 20 mph then rugged it up to 80, around 3500-4000 rpms u can hear and see a fluctuation in rpms they kinda go up and down..u can hear because the tone of the supercharger whine goes up and down..leading me to think maybe i need a new CAT...i kicked it pretty hard and u can hear **** rattling around in there.

If the cat is rattling, it needs to be replaced. It might not solve all your problems though. The way you described it, you have a SUDDEN kill. It'* possible, I supose. A bad cat is usually evident under load.
